Transcendental Comedic Event

A funny moment that you share with a friend even though that friend is no where in the vicinity, nor a witness to the object of comedy. You just know they would laugh.

Erick experienced a transcendental comedic event when stumbling upon the midget goat rape at the world's fair. Erick's wife just rolled her eyes, but that's ok, because he knew his friend Josh would find it hilarious.

Translucent 

To be able to somewhat see through an object. For example, you can see through wax paper, but it is not fully clear.

I need something translucent, not transparent, so a glass of water won't do.

What is a Transcode?

Put simply, a transcode is any audio file that wasn't encoded from an original lossless source, such as a retail CD (not created from lossy files) or a properly made lossless rip. At What, we only allow one lossy step in the lineage of any upload.

Why is transcoding bad?

Whenever you encode a file to a lossy format (such as mp3, m4a(AAC), ogg, or mpc) information is permanently lost. It doesn't matter what you do, it's impossible to get this information back without making a new rip from the original lossless source. If you reencode it to a different format or bitrate, all you're doing is reducing the quality. This applies to any lossy to lossy conversion, so even if you convert from 320kbps to 192kbps, the final file will still sound worse than if you had just ripped to 192kbps in the first place.

It's also important to remember to verify that lossless rips actually came from an original source. People that download lossless expect it to be identical to the original. There's no point in people downloading a bigger file just to get another lossy rip.

So how do I verify that my upload isn't a transcode?

The simplest way is to rip and encode it from the original source yourself. That way, you know that there has been only one lossy step (or that the rip is truly lossless, if you decided to do a lossless rip).

You should also check it by using a wave editor (such as Adobe Audition) to look at the spectral frequency display.

Hey here's the new Childish Gambino album! Awww it's a shitty transcode. The spectrals show it was chopped at 10 kHz. Why are the guys that leak this stuff retarded?

transcendental oversoul 

The philosophical idea that there is no sin or morality, but one big soul that we all belong to. Read "The Grapes Of Wrath" for details.

Adam saved me transcendental oversoul, thanks Adam!

transcendence 

In philosophy, the adjective transcendental and the noun transcendence convey the basic ground concept from the word's literal meaning (from Latin), of climbing or going beyond, albeit with varying connotations in its different historical and cultural stages.

In religion, transcendence refers to the aspect of a God's nature and power which is wholly independent of the material universe, beyond all physical laws.

God was apt to be thought of as purely the only being which has underwent the supreme transcendence process.

I took two hits of that dank and was nearly transcendent.
